We are volunteer hosts at Horseshoe Point Park since May 1st, 2023. This Park is so beautiful with 49 sites, which makes it quaint. Many families have been coming here for 50+ years since they were young. Retired folks also make this Park a long stop over on their way to their next adventure. The white sand beaches, kayaking & fishing is a plus. It has been fun getting to know the campers & their stories!
This is one of the many Park & Campground areas on the east side of Philpott Lake. It's open May 1 through September 30 for camping at one of the 49 camping sites, and you can still enter the park off-season to launch your boat, have a picnic or simply walk around the area.
There are 2 designated swimming areas - one has a long sandy beach and looks like it will be very nice once the crews clean up the winter debris. The other is smaller and has plenty of shade and some picnic tables. The boat launch has two lanes but probably only one boat should be launched at a time. No grassy area near the water to launch your canoe or kayak. Try Salt House Branch instead, it's very close to Horseshoe Point. There is a well built covered area for picnics - handicap friendly. There are also several single picnic areas right on the lake. Many of the campsites are sort of isolated and face the lake without obstruction. You can launch your kayak right from one of these sites. Good restroom facilities and even a dump station for RV's.
Very nice, well kept park overall. It's in a remote area so the number of visitors may be less than the other parks on Philpott. I rated as 4 stars only because the boat launch doesn't accommodate paddle boats well.
Lovely camping grounds and beach. Lots of nice staff and very well kept.
One of the best beaches around Philpot Lake. Also a corps park so if you have the annual pass this spot is included. The area by the campsites is a great spot for bringing the kids and there is new sand down extending the beach. If you come here for camping there are some beautiful spots right by the water. Only thing is the restroom is a bit of a walk so be prepared for that. 100% recommend.
